Geesh guys, think about it for at least a second before you ask questions.

Wireless controllers have more lag than wired controllers. Even if it's only a few milliseconds, you should know this.

The Razer controller is designed for the BEST response times possible, hence they went for a wired solution.

The lag on wireless controllers are so small they're negligible. In fact from what I've read there's an average latency of less than four milliseconds. So if you have a wired controller you'll have a 4ms advantage? I'll stick with my wireless thanks. ;)
 
yeah microsoft has "issues" with people making wireless stuff if they can't profit from it
 
I actually think that Pantsula has the right argument there. The latency "advantage" is what the Razer PR machine is spinning, but it's the licensing issue that stopped them from going wireless - so I agree. I still want one for my PC though!!!!

Now there's a thought. I've been looking for something to make playing Batman: Arkham Asylum better.
 
But dude, you can use a current XBOX 360 controller with your PC - for ages now already? You just buy a USB wireless receiver for your PC. That's the ONLY thing I play Batman with on my PC - even my flight SIMS - it rocks :)
 
any usb one ? or the xbox specific one ?
